Chapter 8 - Christmas Comes Early In More Ways Than One
The day Shawn was assigned to a unit, Tyler was emotional. Shawn had informed him a few days before that he was reassigned to a patrol unit. Tyler asked if he would have a partner, and Shawn responded that he would, but it wouldn't last, that he was being assigned a rookie until they had a new partner for him.
The rookie's name was Jon. He had started at the precinct just before Shawn was shot. He was actually the one that Gary dropped off to tend to Shawn before chasing down the suspects. Shawn knew this, but because he had never run across him afterward, he could never tell him thanks.
Jon was placed on another shift for a while. Jon had been transferred to days when Shawn was due to return to active duty. Shawn didn't say much on the first day while in the car together. He watched the rookie. He even allowed him to drive. Jon had many questions for him but didn't know where to start.
Over the following few days, Jon asked his questions but still didn't tell Shawn that he was the one that saved him. Shawn finally found the words he wanted to say on the third day in the car together. "Jon, I know you were the one that saved my life, I've known it for a long time, and I just didn't know how to say thank you."
"You're welcome, and I would have done it for any of my fellow officers," Jon stated. "It's what we're trained to do."
Shawn chuckled, "Yeah, what we're trained to do. But thank you, you saved my life."
Over the following weeks, Jon and Shawn got comfortable with one another. It had been a while since Shawn had a partner, and it was strange having someone with him all the time.
Then one day, Jack asked Shawn if he wanted to have a bash since it had been a while since they had all gotten drunk together. Shawn, of course, was all for it. Jack invited the regular crew to Shawn's house, along with Jon.
Tyler wasn't prepared to have a bunch of guys over. He had never seen Shawn drink a lot. He had only seen the results of it. The guys were pretty respectful to Tyler when they all showed up. Shawn started drinking with them as usual. Jon, the rookie, even showed up with a case of beer. They pretty much stayed outside until someone needed to go to the bathroom.
When Shawn came in to use the bathroom, Tyler pulled him aside. "Honey, don't you think you had enough?"
"Babe, please don't question. This is one way we blow off the stress of our job. Just come out and enjoy the scenery." Shawn chuckled, he was toasted, and Tyler could tell.
Tyler shook his head but followed Shawn out to the backyard. Of course, the guys were talking cop shop. When Tyler heard the stories they were talking about, he couldn't believe them. He didn't know that all the shit they talked about was happening in their city. He didn't realize that he was that naive, and Shawn protected him from so much information.
The talk didn't faze Shawn, he was well on his way to being wasted, so it didn't dawn on him that they were talking about things he had never mentioned to Tyler. As the night went on, Jon wasn't prepared to see a few guys going at each other. When Charlie and Jeff got a little drunk, they got horny and started messing around.
"Come on, guys, take it somewhere else," Jack stated. Charlie and Jeff went off to the garage. Since they knew better than to go into the house.
"Does that happen a lot?" Jon asked, fearing that someone was going to start with him.
Gary chuckled, "What, you want to go down on one of us, rookie?"
"NO!" Jon quickly answered and looked at Gary.
"No, it doesn't happen a lot. Well, with Charlie and Jeff maybe, but no, we don't come to get drunk to fuck one another," Jack responded before Gary could scare him. "The rest of us are straight, except Shawn here." Jack chuckled.
Jon hadn't realized that Shawn was gay. It had never occurred to him. He never had stopped into Shawn's room and saw Tyler at the hospital. So it really never clicked that he was gay.
Jon looked over at Shawn and how Tyler was acting, and then it dawned on him that they were a couple. Tyler was fluttering around, making sure that Shawn was okay, and Jon wondered why he hadn't noticed that before. It interested Jon to see the interaction between the two of them.
It was bothering Tyler quite a bit that Shawn was getting so drunk. He didn't know what to do, and he knew it would bother Shawn if he tried to stop him. Tyler kept asking Shawn if he was okay, which was starting to annoy Shawn, but he tried not to show it.
Guys were passing out left and right in the backyard. Tyler didn't want Shawn to pass out in the yard but didn't know how he would get Shawn's drunk-ass inside. He was relieved when he saw Dean come around the house. "Wow, why wasn't I invited to this?" Dean looked at the guys and then at Tyler. Dean could not fathom that he still was not wanted at Shawn and Tyler's house or parties.
"Dean, can you please help me get him inside?" Tyler pleaded.
Dean chuckled, "I would leave his drunk ass out here. You're not going to get any sleep if you get him inside. He can turn into one horny ass when he's drunk."
"Yes, I know but would you, please?"
"I'll help you, Tyler," Jon stated. He was drunk but not so intoxicated that he couldn't help. They woke Shawn up, and Dean even stepped up and helped. They got him inside, and when they went to lay him down, Shawn grabbed hold of Jon, taking him down with him. Jon was trying to get out of Shawn's grasp. Dean just laughed because he saw the look on both Jon and Tyler's faces.
"Thank you, Jon," Shawn said as Jon squirmed, still trying to get out of his grasp.
"What?"
"For saving my life," Shawn responded before he passed out.

After Dean had helped get Shawn to bed, he noticed that Jon had dropped onto the couch. So, he wondered where the rest of the men had gone. He saw some passed out in the yard and then remembered hearing something in the garage. When he had walked near the garage earlier, he heard someone in there, so he went to look.
Dean crept through the garage door and found Jeff and Charlie going at it on a blanket. Dean just quietly closed the door and watched from the doorway. His cock started to harden, so he unbuttoned his jeans and lowered his zipper, pulling out his cock from its confinement. He slowly jacked off as he watched them.
Jeff spotted Dean and whispered in Charlie's ear. Told Charlie they had a voyeur. Charlie and Jeff asked, "Would you like to join us?"
Dean was pulled out of his trance of watching them, he had never wanted anyone but Shawn, but his cock was hard. He walked over towards them. They smiled and got up. Dean was standing right over their uniforms. "I think he has way too many clothes on. What do you think?" Charlie asked.
"I think we need to take him home," Jeff responded.
"Mmmm, that could be fun," Charlie said.
